Property description
Throughout its long history, Crawley’s convenient location has been one of the chief sources of its prosperity. In Roman times, it was a centre of the Wealden iron industry, while from the 13th century onwards it gradually became established as a market town serving the surrounding villages. But it was in the latter half of the 18th century that the town’s fortunes really took off with the completion of the turnpike road between London and the newly fashionable resort of Brighton. Crawley’s position approximately half way between the two assured its growth as an important coaching stop. The coming of the railway in the 1840s further boosted growth, as did the opening of nearby Gatwick Airport and the granting of New Town status in the middle of the last century. Today, Crawley is one of the most important centres of business and employment in the South East, a thriving town with all the shops, supermarkets, restaurants, entertainment, schools, open spaces and leisure facilities you could possibly want. And that convenient location still delivers, with Gatwick on the doorstep, the M25 little more than 15 minutes to the north. The glorious scenery of the South Downs National Park the same distance in the opposite direction; Brighton and the other resorts of the South Coast within equally easy reach – and London well within commuting distance, with trains to Victoria and London Bridge taking as little as 39 and 41 minutes respectively. All in all then, Crawley is a great place to live, work and raise a family!
